Worthington v. Kenkel

CADY, Justice.

This appeal requires us to examine the role of the district court when presented with a petition for injunctive relief specifically authorized by a statute. Appellant sought an injunction under Iowa Code section 70A.28 (2003) to prevent her discharge from her employment. The district court, exercising its equitable powers, dismissed the petition after determining appellant had an adequate remedy at law under section 80.15. Upon our review, we reverse the district court order and remand the case for further proceedings.
